I don't have a problem with the Cubs leaving LaHair down in the minors thru the end of the season there.  They could have played Baker at 1B, or called up Clevenger or Castillo and given him some games there.  This as the first season LaHair had absolutely dominated in the minors and letting him do it for the full season was defensible (though not the approach I would have taken), but once the minors ended, he should have been playing in a Cub uniform every day.  That said, when you look at the playing time he got, Quade was not all that far from that in the way he did use him once he was called up.
